This may be a stupid question, but my google-fu is just giving me
generic answers.

 

I want to enforce some password requirements, that are not in effect
now.  I've done this by creating a new group policy, at the top level of
my user OUs.  I've gone into Computer configuration -> Windows settings
-> Security settings -> Account policies -> Password policy.  I set the
minimum length, etc.  Then, in the right side window for the GPO in
GPMC, I use Security filtering to apply the policy to one specific user,
for testing.  I then went into that user's account, and checked the box
for must change password.  Then, I go to the machine where I have this
user account logged in, go to command prompt and type in gpupdate
/force, reboot the machine, and go to change the password.  To test it,
I tried using a very short password, and it was allowed.

 

What am I doing wrong here?  I've got 27 new computers rolling out
tomorrow, and we want to enforce the password stuff for those 27 people,
but I need to get this right.
